Missed you guys - most messed up month ever
Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2011 5:04 am
Hi all,
As many of you know, I have been through my share of "interesting" situations, but the past month takes the cake. I hardly believe it myself but I think that some of ya'll who are or train with LEOs will be particularly interested in at least 2 of the incidents, and I like to kind of keep ya'll apprised, so here goes: (This is going to sound quite crazy, but this is just how my life goes).
I guess most prominently messed up is what put me in the hospital for the past week. I was driving a 10' box truck from my girlfriend's house to my farm when I was pulled over by a deputy sheriff. I'm not 100% sure what said LEO actually decided I had done wrong, but he ordered me out of the truck and to immediately put my hands on his car. (I have heard several different versions of the story from this particular PD given to different people, so it's obvious that their stories do not add up) I'm not sure whether he hit me before putting me in the car or what but I was quite scared and agitated and i think I may have struck the window once out of some manner of primal fear (note that I didn't hit it that hard as there have been 0 bruises on my hands. The lack of bruises and cuts also make it seem awfully fishy that the driver side window of my truck was smashed, but without evidence this is irrelevant). LEO proceeds to pull me out of the car to tase me (when rational discourse would have easily calmed me down). I go completely feral (some of you are familiar with a syndrome that people can get when abused by people in a position of authority - a kind of wounded animal syndrome - this happened to me) and naturally I am scared and in pain so I try to get away. I make it as far as the driver's seat of his cruiser where I try to shield myself from the tasers with anything in the cabin, including a locked down AR-15 :rolleyes: .
I was tased 10 times: 3 abdomen, one on each knee, one on rear left thigh, one on left side of my back, once on my left wrist, one on my left elbow and probably once on my right hand. I have photographic evidence and am collecting more.
On the way to the hospital, I was screaming and convulsing because I was terrified and seriously damaged by the taser wounds. When i arrived I was experiencing severe Rhabdomyolysis and hepatic and renal failure.
I have *NEVER* had a bad liver or kidney panel in my life, much less Rhabdo.
The police's story changed from they found "bath salts" bottles in my truck to they thought I was on "bath salts". They told people that I chased 3 LEOs naked with a machete. Now, I drive wearing only loose fitting shorts because of lower GI issues and a possible paraumbilical hernia. (well, shorts and shoes - I was still wearing my shoes at the hospital so the shorts may have fallen off when I was being killed by the deputies i supposedly menaced) I was open carrying a machete (and a wakizashi) on the front dash because I was afraid to travel completely unarmed after my Memphis gansta run-in (will explain that next) - now by my understanding this is straight 2nd amendment and a police officer in Raleigh approved my open carry of such while on the road for North Carolina. I knew it was legal but wanted to hear it from an LEO in case I were to be harassed or pulled over.
Question: is there ANY possible police training that allows for the firing of up to 10 taser shots from at least 3 different officers? This in and of itself sounds criminal to me without some proof of me trying to kill them. I know that many LEOs disagree, but I have *Every* bit the right to defend my person, property and my freedom when it is challenged, be it by an LEO a career criminal or just some crackpot who thinks I look like his long lost brother who needs to get beat up (the 3rd option being the only one that hasn't happened to me in August) as anyone else, including LEOs, politicians, rich people or employees of an organization who claims to have a special authority over the subjects of morality and/or human rights. Especially now that NC has enacted the Castle doctrine (vehicles are covered).
I may follow with the stories from inside the hospital but I am more concerned about ensuring that this never happens again to me or anyone else alive than the somewhat rough healing process of the past week. Next post will cover the Memphis Kings (or whatever gang rolls heavy in South Memphis - I don't track bandanna colors or neighborhoods as part of my situational awareness but maybe I should so I can be more descriptive to the police next time).
